S. demy quarto, India paper, 17 4s each part; royal octavo, coloured, 1/4s— plain, 188; demy octavo, plain, 12s. The Translation of the Ossemens Fossiles of the Baron Cuvier, to be included in 10 parts. Every part of the wide field of zoology has been surveyed by this enlightened and zealous inquirer, and no corner has escaped his penetrating glance. Equal to Buffon in enlarged views and comprehensive grasp, and much superior to him in patient research, minute observation, and learned inquiry, he presents a rare union of all the great requisites for promoting natural knowledge. He has not been less fortunate in his situation than in his qualifications. Devoting his whole time to science, and surrounded by numerous able assistants, he could avail himself, to the full extent, of those liberal institutions for the advancement of natural knowledge, and that uniform encouragement of talent, for which science will ever be indebted to the French Government. Accordingly, his progress has been every where marked by improvement and discovery. Engaged, says he, in antiquarian researches of a new kind, I have been obliged to learn the art of decyphering and restoring these monuments, of recognising and replacing their primitive arrangement the scattered and mutilated fragments of which they consist, of reconstructing those ancient beings to which they belonged, of exhibiting their proportions, and lastly, of comparing them to those which are found at this moment on the surface of the globe; an art almost unknown, and presupposing the existence of a science hitherto almost untouched-I mean the laws of co-existence, which regulate the forms of the various parts of organised beings. The subject is one of the most curious that can engage our attention. If we feel an interest in following through the infancy of our species the almost effaced traces of so many extinct nations, we shall be at least equally gratified in exploring, amid the darkness that involves the early ages of the earth, the remains of revolutions anterior to the existence of of all nations. BLUMENBACH. A Manual of the Elements of Natu ral History, translated from the German of Blumenbach by Gore, octavo, 14s. This is decidedly the most scientific work on the subject. It is by far the best introduction to natural history in any language, and is particularly valuable for the anatomical and physiological information with which it abounds. Application of Physical Sciences to the Arts. BIRKBECK. A Comprehensive and Systematic Display, Theoretical and Practical, of the Steam Engine, by George Birkbeck, M. D. F.G.S. M.A.S. President of the London Mechanics' Institution; and Henry Adcock and James Adcock, Civil Engineers; illustrated by plates by the best artists, engraved from the most accurate drawings, made, in every case, expressly for this work only. Handsomely printed in quarto. FAREY. A Treatise on the Steam Engine, Historical, Practical, and Descriptive, by J. Farey, quarto, plates. YOUNG. A Course of Lectures on Natural Philophy and the Mechanical Arts, by Thomas Young, M.D. 2 vols. quarto, plates, 1807. In this valuable and interesting work there is a most complete catalogue of works relating to Natural Philosophy and the Mechanical Arts, with references to particular passages, and occa-. sional abstracts and remarks. To give an idea of this arrangement, I will subjoin a brief outline, which would serve as a model for the arrangement of other departments of literature. |
